Book Reviews of Adirondack Home
Book Review: Traditional Adirondack Design
Summary: 5 Stars
"In time the Adirondacks became synonymous with rugged living, fishing and hunting, other outdoor activities and all sorts of rest and relaxation. It was because of the great camps and rustic furniture that Adirondack became a style until its own." ~Ralph Kylloe
After a brief history with pictures, Ralph Kylloe delves into the beauty of Adirondack design. There are magical items in this book you may never see anywhere else like the rustic and romantic bridge design, complete with trolls.
The magical computer desk and chair look like something out of a fairy tale. Contemporary boats rest in luxurious boathouses and small guest houses are nestled beneath the trees. Many lodges and camps are featured and show the ingenuity of design. Chairs made with boat paddles and artistic waterways flowing through wood decks make this a very intriguing read. What is most interesting is how the exterior is brought inside and how artist envision one-of-a-kind pieces of furniture.
This book would be an inspiration to artists, architects and designers interested in this classic style.
~The Rebecca Review

But they are also home to a rich interior design style focused on handcrafted furniture and rustic accessories.From cabins to great camps and everything in between, rustic expert Ralph Kylloe leads a personal tour of fifteen Adirondack homes, including boathouses, riverside cabins, and grand historical great camps such as Top Ridge. He also explores a variety of interpretations of the Adirondack style--from traditional to contemporary--and includes a detailed resource section that facilitates re-creating the Adirondack look in any region of the country.
